- A baby has no worth
It purchases a diamond
That diamond allows for purchase of two toddlers
This toddlers brings a value of platinum bar
Trade platinum to beer in hard liquor
Watch the kid sterile sleeping "pea"cefully
Wait for it to sprout, Die
Break that cup into its original smithereens
Replace every debris with its counterpart teen
Find in each teen a carrot of gold
Immiscible fluids do not mix well together, Fire
Drop every carrot from the roof
Shout at them how:
gold diggers never dig for their treasure
Send the wrong messenger bird through the air
Watch every carrot erode into silver
There is time to fix this, Quicksilver
Regather the nuggets fallen
Reinspire each chick to live
Dream a bronze shell covering each one
Harvest the egg in baskets
Dig a hol(e)y trench
Smash the egg(s) within its walls
Leave the basket be
Surely they rehatch, Unlesstired
Notice a white opening to invade
Expect Quartz; Topaz; or even Ivory
Disappoint the masses with plain old iron
"But is Iron not useful"
Answer that question yourself
The adult could have come in three lines ago
Sadly missed his queue, rekindlingpyre
World never waited for anyone
Is he ending his life right now
Proceed on to start a new one
Everything sure feels better, hopeitnotbed(es)ire
Except from the part you start as a baby
Try to start from a point beyond that
Manipulate me to make you better
